Discover the Craft Village

Visit the Craft Village and find unique handmade gifts and items a world away from everything the high street has to offer. Plus you can often see the crafters demonstrating their skills. Entry to the Craft Village is FREE and there's plentiful free parking.

The Craft Village is open Tuesday to Sunday with a limited number of crafters open on Mondays including the Music Shop and La Bottega Village Caffè. Plus we have Farmers’ Markets on the second and last Saturday of the month, and we often have special events.

Our studios offer it all from the dress to the decor and so much more.

The Craft Village is open from Tuesday to Sunday all year round with a limited number of crafters open on Mondays (see full details of opening times) except on the weekend of the Essex Country Show (2nd weekend in September) where the Craft Village will only be accessible once you have purchased an entrance ticket into the show.
